I think it is safe to say Senator Obama will announce his VP choice next week in fact I predict it will be Thursday August 21st because on that day Senator Clinton will be in Florida. I'm saying this as a long time Obama supporter who has come to the conclusion that Obama has always considered Clinton the front runner because she will win the White House for him and us.
Like all on the "shortlist" she isn't perfect but damm close
She offers Obama more Votes, Real unity, a fighter like no other, and vetted. As many of you know I think the Obama campaign has been planning this for awhile and really want to get the biggest bounce out of this surprise announcement.
When Clinton chose Gore the "bounce" was a staggering 11 points.
I don't know if we could get that kind of bounce but I'm sure we will receive historical media attention and all for free.
Announcing in Florida would be a perfect location to introduce the "Dream Team" The press would go crazy and of course on the weekend all the political talk shows will be talking about "How did we miss this"
On Monday the convention starts and the ratings go through the roof. Unity will be a reality not a catch phrase to the millions watching this. Chelsea will introduce her Mother on Tuesday and I predict Bill will introduce his wife on Wednesday. Thursday Obama will make a great speech and the ratings will bury the McCain/Romney ticket.
Lately the Obama campaign has been "giving in" to Clinton for example Florida and Michigan will have full voting rights at the convention. Now some kind of Roll call. Her own production team and the list goes on.
Hillary and Bill will have major roles and even Chelsea will be involved. Obama doesn't seem to be afraid of giving Senator Clinton "Carte Blanche" at all which fits with his "team of rivals" message..
Text messaging Clintons name will be explosive. You can't say that about any of the names mentioned on the "shortlist"
Clinton has an organization and a former husband who will fight for the White House and by choosing her the Clintons can't run against him in four years.
Clinton is the obvious choice for good reason she helps him in so many areas and they will make history by winning together and that's change we can believe in.
I'm really wondering how the Obama campaign will tease us with text messages. Will they send one stating "In 24 hours we will announce Obama's running mate" How much are they going to build this up? How much teasing will they do? Will they give us a "Warning shot" or just announce the running mate?
Personally I'm sure they will tease us.
Will Obama be in Florida on Thursday August 21st? I don't know.
Clinton is scheduled to be in Florida though.
Have I broken the "VP CODE" I don't really know but this could be the last running mate we can speculate on for many years so forgive me for being excited about Obama and his running mate. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
